In the 2020-21 theater season, Bay Area fans of “Frozen,” the blockbuster Disney animated musical, will be able to enjoy the song “Let It Go” live and in person.

SHN is bringing the Tony-nominated musical, which has a book by Jennifer Lee and music and lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, to San Francisco as part of its 2020-21 season. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Snow Queen,” the show follows two sisters, Princesses Anna and Elsa, who are torn apart by Elsa’s magical powers with ice and snow — powers she can’t control.

Dates, casting and location will be announced next year. SHN subscribers to the 2019-20 season will have first dibs on “Frozen” tickets when they go on sale.
